A member of the Meghalaya State Legislative Assembly, Minister of State and then a cabinet minister, he has managed a myriad of portfolios. In this talk, he analyses the reasons for the alienation faced by the people of the North-East from the rest of India, and also gives the possible remedial measures for that. He points out that Eco-tourism and inclusive tourism are the way forward for the north-eastern states of India.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
